1 John 5:2

James Moffatt - New Testament

This is how we are sure that we love God's children, by loving God and obeying his commands

See the chapter Copy

but whoever obeys his word, in him love to God is really complete. This is how we may be sure we are in him:

And we get this command from him, that he who loves God is to love his brother as well.

This is what I command you, to love one another.

This is how we may be sure we know him, by obeying his commands.

We know we have crossed from death to life, because we love the brotherhood; he who has no love [for his brother] remains in death.
